Install

Three steps. Pick your distro.

  1. Download the package
    Pick the .deb for Ubuntu/Debian/Mint or the .AppImage for any other distro. Both are ~14 MB.
  2. Install or make executable
    .deb: sudo dpkg -i pulse_0.1.0_amd64.deb && sudo apt -f install. .AppImage: chmod +x pulse_0.1.0_x86_64.AppImage, then double-click.
  3. Open from your launcher
    Pulse appears in your application menu under "Pulse". On GNOME, install the libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 package if you get a missing-library error.
